🥥 Ingredients
2 cups desiccated coconut (unsweetened or sweetened, your choice)
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (for smoother melting)
Optional: extra coconut or crushed nuts for rolling
👩🍳 How to Make Them
1. Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the texture is sticky and holds together.
2. Form the Balls
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place on a parchment-lined tray. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
3. Chill
Place the tray in the refrigerator or freezer for 15–20 minutes to firm up the balls. This makes dipping much easier!
4. Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
5. Dip and Coat
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place them back on the tray.
6. Let Set
Chill in the fridge for another 10–15 minutes until the chocolate coating hardens.
